Problems adding new HP7 UK edition

Post by jools »

I just downloaded bookpedia today so I'm very new to the program and apologise if this is a known issue. Saw something similar in the forums for a different title but the reply said it had been resolved.

I tried to add ISBN 0747591054 which is Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, but when I use Amazon UK to search for the details, it keeps suggesting ISBN 0749951044 (which is some Kiefer Sutherland biography). Any ideas?

Thanks,
jools

This is an issue with mixing numbers. The ISBN-13 for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is 9780747591054 and the ISBN-10 is 0747591059; Bookpedia will find either one; but it will not find 0747591054 those are the 10 last digits of the ISBN-13 and do not make a valid ISBN-10, the last digit (the check digit) changes.

The ISBN 13 is fairly new so it's something we're all still learning about :)
